In today’s world, the majority of people prefer Two-Wheelers to reach their destinations. It is one of the popular means of transport. On the one side Two-Wheelers help in cutting traveling time and expenses but on the other side, they cause a lot of pollution, that is the reason researchers have introduced electric scooters in place of fuel-based scooters.
It is designed with cutting-edge technology and a sharp line that gives comfort and convenience to your ride. There are so many factors that make electric scooters the best in today’s era.
Here are the Top 5 factors that unleash the power of electric scooters:
1. Technical Specification
The electric scooter is designed and manufactured with batteries. They are eco-friendly. Widespread and extensive charging infrastructure is required.
In Electric Scooters we can use charging instead of fueling. Electric scooter charging is convenient and more accessible than fuel-based electric vehicles.
Electric scooters are available in Two kinds of batteries-
Li-Ion Battery and Lead Acid Battery.
Lithium-ion batteries are used for growing in popularity for military and aerospace applications.
Lead-acid batteries can supply high surge currents, which means that the cells have a relatively large power-to-weight ratio.
2. Safety and comfort
If you are driving on rough roads or in bad weather conditions, electric scooters are strong enough to ride. They are also well-guarded against the entry of water.
Electric scooters are new-age scooters that make every ride a breezy one. They normally take 8 hours to recharge. They need very little maintenance. They are quiet as compared to fuel-based vehicles. In Indian cities and towns, people are using these scooters because they are reliable and also safe on rough streets.
3. Affordable and Cost-saving:
Electric vehicles are very cheap. So common people can afford to purchase it. It is easy to start.
Less wear & tear because of no reciprocating parts. Lubrication is also not necessary.
An electric scooter will offer the same mileage as a petrol scooter at 15% of the cost of one liter of fuel, making it very pocket-friendly over the long term. Electric scooters are a good option for short daily use.
Li-ion battery is used in an electric scooter which is more efficient and has superior performance. Electric scooters are slightly more expensive than fuel-based two-wheelers. But the long-term cost of maintaining and riding a conventional scooter is higher than an electric scooter.
We can save costs on expenses like fuel costs, maintenance, and replacement of parts and services.
4. Range and Speed
The range of an electric scooter determines how much distance it can cover on one full charge and speed is also a secret power of electric scooters. Electric scooters with low speed are good to ride in cities especially streets and heavy traffic roads.
There are manufacturers that are offering products with a decent riding range.
The Okinawa Praise currently sits at the top in the long-range electric scooters in India. Powering the e-scooter is a 45 Ah VRLA battery that delivers a peak power output of 2,500 watts along with a claimed 170 km to 200 km riding range per single full charge.
Okinawa Praise scooter can touch a top speed of 75 kmph. The time required to charge the battery completely from zero percent is 6 to 7 hours.
5. Zero-emission and environment
Fuel-based scooters were found to emit a high concentration of pollution. Electric scooters are powered by a rechargeable battery.
e-scooter offers efficiency gains and, as they have zero local tailpipe emissions and are virtually silent. It also reduces air and noise pollution.
e-scooters can be referred to as zero-emission vehicles, they do in fact emit pollution from power plants. They emit lead from battery manufacturing and recycling.
E-scooters have the potential both to improve local air quality and reduce greenhouse gas emissions derived from the transport sector. In fact, they can be very cost-effective at both.
